Becky on Jan 15, 2015Purchase a good quality WIDE double back tape. The better the quality the better it will hold. That's what I used on mine. Apply it LIBERALLY to the back side of the rug, especially in the high traffic areas and areas of the wrinkles. It worked great for me.Helpful Reply

Wanda.ll on Jan 15, 2015I would steam wrinkle and set something on it to flatten it till dry. Then use double stick rug tape. Will have to replace every once in awhile but will workHelpful Reply

Carol Markim on Jan 15, 2015Thank you so much ladies - Yes there is a rug pad but that's wrinkled, too. If I apply the 2 sided rug tape is the tape applied to the carpeting removable without damaging the rug, or am I stuck w/it? (No pun intended) Is there a brand name for this :2 sided rug tape?Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Jan 16, 2015Should be able to tack down the underlay without damaging the carpeting. They dewrinkle the carpet and use the double-faced tape between it and the underlay.Helpful Reply

Lindy on Feb 15, 2016There should be a tack strip under the carpeting which holds it in place. I would call a professional in to install one if there isn't one on there now. They stretch the rug to secure to the strips which holds it flat. The carpet double sided sticky tape may help the area rug after that is done properly.Helpful Reply
